"Yunfei."

"Song Yunfei?"

Cannon shouted twice. Seeing that Song Yunfei was absorbed in his own thoughts and ignored him, he could only look at Er Pang innocently.

He is stupid, and he hopes that the fat man who usually talks a lot can chat with the major general.

"What do you see me doing?"

The second fat man couldn't understand the little general's thoughts, let alone what the cannon wanted to express. He just looked around and saw some rare gadgets that he had never seen before. He jumped off his horse and bought it, placing it properly. I am not afraid that the young general will go far away.

Fortunately, Song Yunfei's horse walked slowly, and Jiangjiaba was a "T"-shaped street. Standing at this end of the street, you could see almost half of the entire town.

The second fat man bought two different eel cages, one straight and one with horns, which were hung on the side of the saddle in a strange way, and he went to fiddle with the bamboo basket nearby.

He was born in poverty and followed his father and brother as gangsters in the mountains since he was a child. However, he became more fond of these ordinary market things.

"Old man, this bamboo basket is also made by the Lu family as you said?"

Uncle Zhang, who had been squatting on the street for half a day without doing any business, immediately smiled and narrowed his eyes when he heard this: "Yes, yes, but this is not knitted by my brother from the Lu family. He taught me to knit. Don't leave this basket." Look at it, it’s small, it’s more energy-consuming than those big ones…”

"This bamboo basket is indeed a little different from what we usually see. It is carefully woven and beautiful."

Erpang spent a long time rummaging through the bamboo baskets of various sizes, not knowing whether he should buy one to take with him or not.

"It looks good."

In order to facilitate another business, Uncle Zhang deliberately took out the smallest bamboo basket and showed it to Erpang, "Young Master, look, this bamboo basket is so small, yet the weaving is so fine. It wastes both handwork and bamboo." , what can it do? It can neither hold grain nor much wild vegetables. But almost every child in our village has one, and they are all very happy. Even the families in the town who have a little extra money are willing to buy one for their children. , just because it looks good.”

The small bamboo basket is slightly larger than an adult's hand, but it is woven delicately and compactly.

In order to look good, the bamboo strips on the bamboo baskets are actually dyed and divided into three colors: red, green and blue.

I don’t know how the color was dyed. Although it is not as bright and beautiful as my sisters wearing red and green, it has a different flavor.

Er Pang hesitated for a moment, but bought one bamboo basket of each size. The smaller one was put inside the larger one, which was just right. When he went back, he gave the larger bamboo basket to the Major General and the smaller one to Miss Yun, saying that they were bought by the Major General. , she must be happy.

It's just that the price is a bit expensive. For two small bamboo baskets, this black-faced man actually asked for two hundred coins for each.

Why not grab it?

The second fat man thought it was a bit expensive, but he was not a fool, so naturally he didn't want to be deceived by an old country farmer.

"A bamboo basket only costs a few pennies. How dare you ask me for..."

The second fat man opened his mouth to curse, and his eyes fell on Brother Zhang's palm that was scratched by bamboo strips. The rough palm was covered with calluses and fine wounds.

He remembered that when he was very young, his father had such hands before he followed the two uncles of the Song family in the uprising.

"never mind."

The second fat man sighed and saw that the major general and the cannon had already ridden away, so he did not bargain. He hurriedly threw down a few pieces of silver, picked up the bamboo basket and rode off to chase them.

When Brother Zhang saw Er Fat walking away, he immediately packed up the things spread out in front of him, walked around the backyard of a house, and hurried home from the trail behind the town.

The three sons of the Zhang family were cutting bamboo strips under the shade of a tree. Seeing the third brother Zhang return, the second son Zhang Ronghua immediately raised his voice and asked: "Dad, why are you back so early? All the bamboo baskets and eel cages are sold out?"

There were not many people going to town today. Apart from the Lu family, there were only Chen Ping'an who went to the dock to carry the work, and Brother Zhang who wanted to sell some bamboo baskets and eel cages to make some money.

"Water...water..."

After running all the way back, Brother Zhang was exhausted. At this moment, he could only open his dry throat and make a broken sound.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

The youngest son of the Zhang family, Zhang Jixiang, was about the same age as Lu Xiangge. When he saw his father's running shoes falling apart, he was so frightened that he almost cried.

The eldest son Zhang Ronghua was older and more courageous. He took the water ladle beside the tank and scooped out more than half of the well water and handed it to his father: "Dad, drink water."

Breathing heavily, Brother Zhang took the water gourd handed over by his son and drank it in big gulps. Regardless of his wet clothes, Brother Zhang touched his mouth and asked: "Uncle Lu

What? Come back quickly and tell him that I have something to ask him for."

Ma Erya, who was mending clothes at the side, immediately answered: "Brother Lu and Xiaosi went to town to see off Shopkeeper Li. My sister-in-law, carrying Xiaowu on her back, also went to town with three girls, saying they wanted to buy cotton to make quilts.

"

The sun is so hot. I don't know what the Lu family's sister-in-law is thinking, but she goes to buy cotton at this time.

"Have all the Lu family gone to town?"

Brother Zhang screamed in surprise, and without taking any time to rest, he dragged his two sons, Zhang Ronghua and Zhang Fugui, "Quick, come with me to the town to find your Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu."

As he walked out, he did not forget to tell Li Tantan's mother: "Aunt Li, hurry up and find Sixi and the others when they come back. Just say...just say that I have something. It's a big deal."

Without saying anything clearly, Brother Zhang hurried to town dragging his two sons with him.

I was deeply afraid that if I were a moment late, something would happen to the Lu family.

"What's wrong with your dad?"

Li Guanggan’s mother looked at Zhang Jixiang blankly, “Are you crazy because you’ve lost your mind?”

"Aunt Li, if you are crazy about losing, my father will not be crazy about losing."

Zhang Jixiang spit on the ground and ran into the ground.

His father asked Aunt Li to call Li Sixi and several uncles back. Something must have happened. Aunt Li was too talkative and slow on her feet, so it would be better for him to run over and come back faster.

The Zhang family and his son ran halfway when they met the Lu family who were returning home.

Seeing Lu Quan and several children walking over, chatting and laughing, Brother Zhang seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Third brother..."

Lu Quan quickly stepped forward, grabbed Brother Zhang's arm and lifted him up, "What's wrong with you? What happened?"

"Huchi...huchi..."

Brother Zhang was dragged by Lu Quan. He panted for a long time before he could barely speak, "The rebel army... has entered... the town."

"The rebel army has entered the town?"

Lu Quan turned to look at Xiaosi beside him, "Have you seen the rebels?"

Lu Shege thought of the big ship carrying three horses and Song Yunfei chasing her and calling her "Little Ge'er". He frowned slightly and didn't know how to answer Lu Quan for a moment.

Lu Quan thought that Xiaosi didn't know either, so he looked at Brother Zhang again: "We haven't seen each other, when did it happen?"

Today, he and Xiaosi entered the town early and even sent Shopkeeper Li to the dock. It was impossible for them not to know about the rebel army entering the town.

While talking, Brother Lu finally calmed down and told him that he sold two small bamboo baskets and two eel cages for one tael of silver today.

He didn't notice at first that the young man leading the horse was a rebel. Later, when the young man squatted down to buy an eel cage, Brother Lu realized that the young man's knife was tied with the red scarf of the rebel army.
